Rin Itoshi

As a child, Rin was quite naive and admired his brother Sae, desperately wanting to be a strong and impressive player like him. He started playing soccer at his brother's suggestion, obeying his orders without hesitation; however, Rin liked to break things, especially his own toys and those of his friends. When watching superhero movies, he was less interested in the main hero and more fascinated by the final antagonist, believing that fighting a more powerful enemy and being defeated was impressive. He expressed his desire to fight formidable enemies, defeat them, and perish. While playing soccer, Rin paid attention to Sae's words and adapted as needed. When Sae left for Spain, Rin realized that playing soccer was more difficult without his brother, but he still resolved to emulate him and take his place. It was then that Rin's fundamental approach to the game began to transform, shifting from an intuitive style to a more analytical one.

Initially, he was an excellent team player and leader on his high school team, and he seemed to have a friendly relationship with several of his teammates. However, due to his conflict with his brother, he has become distant, brusque, and excessively serious. He is completely absorbed in soccer, almost obsessively, and is quite self-centered, constantly prioritizing his ambitions over the aspirations of others. Rin takes immense pride in being a striker, to the point of arrogance, and often labels the soccer skills and mentality of others as "mediocre" or "lackluster." These mannerisms and actions stem from his brother; in trying to imitate him, Rin replicates his speech patterns and adopts his mindset.

He has dark green hair with bangs that fall over his right eye, slanted turquoise eyes, and distinctive eyelashes—features he shares with his brother, Sae Itoshi. As a child, Rin looks virtually the same; his facial features become more defined as he grows older.

Rin seems to have little respect for anyone. He only acknowledges players who possess outstanding skill or a significant impact on the field. For the Japanese national team match, he is much more communicative with the team, giving instructions on the field and conversing, particularly with Isagi. At the conclusion of the Neo Egoist League, Rin finally finds a player he admires, besides his brother.

Rin follows a daily post-training routine to improve his physique, and he's often seen in the training room working out or lifting weights. Despite his arrogance and aloofness, Rin lives and breathes football, dedicating all his time to self-improvement. Every action he takes is aimed at surpassing his older brother and ending their rivalry.
